I'll be in Nashville while the convention takes place and will attend if they'll let me. I've been through some stuff the past year and a half or so and in the process have fallen behind on my membership dues. I'm sure they'll let me bring them up to date during registration provided I'm still listed as a member. I'm gonna go to the registration desk and hope for the best on Wed. or whenever I arrive. ( I'm driving a truck for a living these days and they're usually a day late getting me home when I request home time.) Not sure just when I'll get there or how long I'll get to stay but I definitely plan to be there.
BillB, thanks for the heads up on the Alexis Inn being full. That's where I was planning to stay. I'm sure I'll be able to find something reasonably priced in the vicinity. ( Not gonna splurge on a luxury suite when all we need is a place to crash and get just enough sleep to get us through the next day!)
A Chetboard breakfast sounds good but I'm not sure it would work for me. I just don't stay up late enough to do breakfast anymore.

Seriously, a Chetboard gathering of some kind may be a good idea. Wish I could be at the John Knowles workshop!
Getting excited and hope to see lots of you there next week!
